Review
I thought this book was excellent. I'm not one to read a biography in my spare time, but this book was definitely worth the read. I really liked reading about many of the people I've learned about in school in addition to the stuff they haven't didn't teach. There're a lot of people that are praised for doing many great things in history but actually had a dark side to them that people neglect to mention. Like the fact that Thomas Edison was not only the inventor of many useful things, but he was also a greedy and selfish man who stuck patents on everything, so he could have the idea and profits to himself. This book was really well written, telling the lives of famous people throughout history while also telling about their dark side, and how that led to their ultimate end
